I got a marcum pan cam 3 years ago, it creats its own wi fi ,and you can download a app to be able to use your phone to turn the camera , its a great idea but it only worked for a few trips before the motor stopped working,. Has anyone else had this issue?

Somewhat common issue. From what I've heard they'll send you a motor for a decent price. Be sure to have lots of slack and don't turn more than a full turn or so either way and you shouldn't burn out the new motor. I've never burnt mine up. Call soon because I think they are discontinuing them

I will call ,thanks for the info.
-
Where do you want to leave the slack at between the side and where it clips on the bottom?
-
Got my pan cam back, ,I paid for shipping Marcum covered the parts and labor, they said the motor has been upgraded so it shouldn't have any more issues,
-
Might get a couple more trips in!

Mine's been replaced and it works some of the time. I put about a foot of slack and let the loop hang down the hole so it doesn't bind up but can only get a little more than 180 degrees of rotation before it starts clicking. I mainly just lift it and turn a little at a time because ,even with a new battery, it only lasts about 4 hours.
